Stop Biomassacre Subsidies

Legitimate concerns about climate change are being exploited by big energy companies and financial institutions who are lobbying for subsidies from industrial bioenergy (biofuel and biomass) power generation.

A rally outside the Department of Energy and Climate Change in London is complimented by activists dressed as organgutans climbing trees outside Buckingham Palace.
